Her Majesty has long been enamored with anything to do with Mt. Everest. It's normal for long time 'newlyweds' to not agree on all. In the case of Mt. Everest climbers we are in agreement, climbers today are nutso. So far this year eleven people have died on the trip up, mostly due to ill preparation prior to the attempted climb. It'd be like me coming home and saying, "I think I'll climb Mt. Everest tomorrow". I can't walk thirty yards to the mailbox without stopping to take an extended rest.
And when people die on the trip they leave them up there. The positive benefit of this is with the cold temperatures their relatives will never have to be concerned with body decomposition. Whew! What a relief.
